| - | |
| Oh true and faithful Twice ten earnest years | B |
| Of mission toil in Afric's sultry clime | C |
| Attest thy patience in thy Master's cause | D |
| Thy self denial and humility | E |
| - | |
| Now neath the shadow of the princely palm | C |
| And where Liberia's church crown'd summits rise | F |
| Are sighs from sable bosoms swelling deep | G |
| With gratitude for all thy hallow'd care | H |
| - | |
| The Prelate unto whom thy heart of hearts | I |
| Was link'd so tenderly who found in thee | E |
| Solace for exile from his native shore | J |
| Laments thy loss as the lone hours go by | K |
| He mourns thee deepest for he knew thee best | L |
| Thy purity thy sublimated search | M |
| For added holiness With angel hand | N |
| Press thou thy pattern on us we who dwell | O |
| Amid the fullness of the bread from Heaven | P |
| Forgetful of our heathen brother's need | Q |
| Now thou dost sweetly sleep where pain and woe | R |
| Follow thee not Their trial time is o'er | S |
| Their discipline perfected For thy will | T |
| Was subjugated to the Will Divine | U |
| And through a dear Redeemer's strength thy soul | V |
| Hath won the victory | E |
